A Month of Movement
Hello, New Home and New Chapter
Welcome Back!
Has it really been almost a month since the last time I sent one of these? Really? Wow. Time does fly when there’s been so much movement. Let’s catch up, shall we?
Catch Up Easily with Vlogmas 2024
If you want a look at the new home and all of the vlogs in the new space since, then I highly suggest taking a gander at the Vlogmas 2024 playlist we are cultivating together over on YouTube. You can do so by clicking here.
As with previous years of doing the Vlogmas Challenge, I attend to do the mindset of mimicking The Twelve Days of Christmas. So far, we have completed five out of those twelve. We are on a roll! The next one is a Draw My Life video, as voted for by my YouTube community. Want to join? Subscribing and having a voting say in most content in the future is free!
The Merna Annals Book 5 Updates
There is a good chance we are publishing The Merna Annals, Season 1, Book 5: Bound by Lyric and Time by Christmas 2024. I am working on the FINAL run through of it all before formatting and posting it in eBook format on Amazon begins.
In January and February, I have some meetings I will be attending with a new coach or two for some fine-tuning help with finalizing Season 1 going WIDE all at once. Then, we will talk about getting several of the Side Quests and the parallel story to Season 2, VITAELANGICA, published on Amazon while Season 1 percolates in the WIDE markets. Yes, this will mean they are coming your way to multiple vendors in eBook and paperback as fast as I can get them out to you.
Remember, you can start this journey for free by reading the eBook of Book 1: Bound by Fate and Blood by clicking here. OH, did I mention that some of these books are also now out in paperback? However, you might want to wait for The Tiara Book Box to drop in March! More about that in future newsletters.
More Book Covers, Hardbacks, and Character Art Updates
With more Side Quest and spin-off material coming out in 2025 as we prepare to transition into The Merna Annals Season 2 in late 2025 / early 2026, I will we sharing several new book covers and blurbs for the eBook and paperback versions. I want to give a huge shoutout to Rachel D. Adams of WTC Creatives for being our Blurb Doctor for the foreseeable future. Rach reworked all five blurbs to The Merna Annals Season 1, and I adore them so much. To consider hiring her for being your Blurb Doctor click here, or check out here books by clicking here.
I’ve hired RJ Creatives Graphic Services (click here) to create the covers for VITAELANGICA and four of The Merna Annals Side Quests in eBook and paperback format for WIDE placement. Want a tiny peek at one of them here? Here’s The Winged Ones at a glimpse!
At the same time, I will be hiring Jeremy of SonTrowa Arts (click here) to do the hardbacks for all of the books. All of them. Starting with Bound by Fate and Blood.
However! Jeremy has other projects that I am long overdue on asking him to do first. Namely, Abraxas’s character art. Then, there’s a ton of art I am commissioning him to do for The Tiara and more. He is starting to considering Twitch streaming as part of his art journey, and he has asked if he can do The Merna Annals related art on livestreams. I consider him my creative art director at this point, so the answer was YES. When we starts those streams, I will be sending links to you in the future!
I have so many plans in motion, and a lot of them are going to finish next year. I cannot wait to share them with you in the coming weeks, including announcements of where to find me in person, too!
In the meantime, enjoy some of the freebies and more below? Thanks for supporting me and all I do! Happy Holidays to you and yours!
Take care of yourself,
Jenna OM
